1971 Plymouth Barracuda CUDA (V-code 4 speed convertible) 1 of 5 made. About the car: All numbers matching born with drivetrain & small parts (dist., carbs etc.), about 80% of the original build sheet is legible & confirms what the car is- an O.E. Gold certification from the Mopar Nationals, it was an above average E- body with only minor rust previous to the restoration, professional restoration by Jeff at Carman Customs in Freeland Michigan, N.O.S. fenders plus many other N.O.S. parts were used & it has less than 10 miles since completion. About the Broadcast Sheet: In a perfect world, there would be a mint broadcast sheet. Time unfortunately deteriorated part of this cars original broadcast sheet but fortunately, about 70% remained intact & I was able to lay out any loose pieces & press them between 2 pieces of glass to end up with about 80% that fully documents what this car is! Multiple closeup pictures are attached. Of the VIN you can read the BS clearly, there are traces of the bottom edge of the 2 & 7 (convertible only), the V1 is very clear, the sequence number clearly shows the 2, it is missing the first 5 and then 5342 is legible. V3X black convertible top is very clear P37 power convertible top is very clear, 755 for the 4 speed transmission is very clear 034 & 024 leaf springs are very clear D56 for 3.54 Dana 60 (Track Pack) is very clear as is the 1 for sure grip, 59 for 959 radiator, GB5 blue body paint, 72 for the 3438172 alternator is legible & correct 16,12 & 69 are clear for the correct fan assembly. Also documented clearly on the broadcast sheet are the wheel codes, fr. & rear shock codes, tailpipes, chrome tips, master cyl., brakes, bucket seats, sill plates, wheel opening moldings, sport hood, hood pins, belt moldings, dual exhaust, exhaust tips, suspension, shocks, power steering, steering wheel & a couple other small items. This is guaranteed to be the original, born with, broadcast sheet for this car.

Those cars are now in what I call Black Hole Collections, this is probably the only all numbers matching 4 speed 71 V-code cuda convertible with a build sheet available.
